Noise

[Papag]

Hi all new to the forum seeking help on a noise problem , my neighbour has his bed to the side of my adjoining wall, the problem is that his bedtime activitys make the bed creak sending the noise into my bedroom which keeps me awake . What is the best and most cost effective way of eliminating/ reducing the noise transmitting into my house. I was thinking of building a theromlite wall or breeze with some sort of insulation behind it. Non of the DIY shops seem to be able to help.
Many Thanks
Graham

Put bromide in his tea. Or ask him to move his bed. Nothing else will work.

Bromide is a fallacy, Joe.

There is nowhere to move his bed to as its a small dormer with I presume a single breeze dividing wall, surly there must be some sort of sound proofing material that would work

No, sadly not. Once the vibrations are in the structure of the building you can't soundproof them.

How often does he 'do it'? You can tell us.

On average about twice daily once late at night and again early morning when the birds start singing or the cock starts crowing

Does his 'bird' start singing or is he a solo performer?

and does his cock start growing, sorry I mean crowing

No hes a solo performer maybe if he wasnt the noise may not be a issue

all I know is when or whatever wakes him his bed starts creaking , and belive me its very anoying well to me anyway

Ask him to buy a hammock.
No seriously mention his bed sounds worn out and keeps you awake. That could be your cheapest and best option.

Ask him what he's on and can he get you some.
